Abstract
Experimental studies show that gamma irradiation dose affects the values of equilibrium moisture content of grain at the same relative humidity and temperature of ambient. Values of the equilibrium moisture content decreased with increasing dose of γ-ray irradiation during both adsorption and desorption. Factor of irradiation dose was included in three widely used models for equilibrium moisture content; the parameters in the models were estimations from experimental data. Based on the correlation coefficient, mean relative error, and standard error of moisture, the modified Chung-Pfost equation and the modified Henderson equation were found to fit the desorption and adsorption isotherms for rough rice in the range of experimental conditions studied.
